Hello everyone,
I am an international student with 5 years of experience in a small consulting firm, looking to transition to big Tech after my MBA.
I got into Darden and Johnson and am waiting to hear back from Fuqua. I didn't get aid from both schools and I am an international student who is currently in an H1-B visa in the US. I am wondering since Darden, Duke and Johnson aren't particularly known for tech jobs, which one is better for big Tech placements?
I think Cornell has an international brand name which is attractive to me but their 2-year program is not STEM certified which I think can be a big problem. As for Darden, it is strong for consulting but I am not interested in going back to consulting. Fuqua -- I think it is similar to Darden in terms of tech recruiting. Any thoughts on which school might be better?

Johnson has really struggled w/ tech placement, despite their pivot there via their NY campus. P&Q even wrote about the struggle of the full time program to place in tech a few months ago. I'd consider Darden or Duke for tech over Johnson.

I would vote Darden on this one. Microsoft, Amazon and Google hire Darden folks a lot and definitely more than Johnson. Darden also has STEM which gives you some leeway to continue working without burning your H1B. I am curious about your school selection though. If you really wanted to get into tech, why choose these schools?
